What is stats.fm (formerly Spotistats for Spotify)?

stats.fm is a music statistics and analytics platform for Spotify users, formerly known as Spotistats for Spotify. It connects to your Spotify account and turns your listening activity into detailed personal stats—top tracks, artists, and albums, plus deeper insights into your music taste. It is available as an app on Android and iOS. Note that stats.fm states it is in no way affiliated with Spotify AB; data is provided by Spotify, and album artwork and other copyrighted content belong to their respective owners.

What stats.fm does

According to the site, stats.fm's core promise is "Your music, your stats, your story"—giving you a new dimension of insight into your music taste rather than just a playback list.

Key capabilities described on the site:

• Personalized stats — "state of the art algorithms" surface relevant, advanced, and personalized stats for each item you click on.
• Top lists — view your top tracks, artists, and albums at a glance, and organize lists by playtime, stream count, or ordering methods from connected services.
• Lifetime history import — a unique import process brings in your complete streaming history to unlock a broader set of features.
• Friend connections — share your profile via a link, send friend requests, and view friends' stats if their privacy settings allow it.
• Data control — privacy settings let you choose which parts of your profile to share, and you can delete all your data anytime in account settings.

How to get started

1. Log in with your Spotify account. The site describes this as a one-click process: "With the click of a button, you'll be logged into your account."
2. Explore your stats. After logging in, you gain access to stats and insights for your listening history.
3. Import your streaming history if needed. Some features—particularly top lists and lifetime history—may require importing your streaming history to unlock. The site marks these with an asterisk and notes: "import of streaming history may be required to unlock (part of) this feature."
4. Adjust privacy and sharing. Decide what parts of your profile to share, and connect with friends by sharing your profile link.

Expected result: a personalized dashboard of your listening data, with the option to compare and share with friends.

Availability and access

• Platforms: Android and iOS apps, plus the stats.fm website.
• Account: Requires logging in with Spotify.
• Pricing: The site references "stats.fm Plus" in its navigation, but the provided page content does not state prices, plan details, or which features are paid. Treat Plus as a distinct offering whose terms you should check directly on the site.
• Total stats: The page notes "Total stats currently unavailable," so that particular view may not be accessible at the time of writing.

Privacy and security

stats.fm says it prioritizes privacy and security, storing only the data needed to provide the experience and keeping it stored securely. You retain control: you can limit what you share through privacy settings and delete all your data from account settings at any time.

A practical example

Suppose you want to know which artist you've actually listened to the most over the past year—not just what Spotify's year-end recap shows. You log in to stats.fm, import your streaming history, and sort your top artists by playtime or stream count. You can then share that profile link with a friend, who can view your stats if your privacy settings permit.

What to keep in mind

• stats.fm is independent of Spotify; it uses Spotify-provided data but is not affiliated with Spotify AB.
• Some features depend on importing your streaming history—without it, parts of the experience stay locked.
• The site lists a Plus tier but does not disclose pricing on the page provided, so verify current terms before assuming any feature is free.
• "Total stats" is noted as currently unavailable, so don't rely on that view.
